Abstract
Hydroponic and greenhouse technologies offer the promise of growing many crops traditionally grown in soil. A comparative study in The Netherlands has demonstrated that it is now possible to grow leeks in soilless culture using protected cropping technologies with increased production and yields and improved product quality, at the same time reducing labour costs for transplanting and harvesting.
